Coop Arona Center, Building Renovation

This project on Milan for the Coop Arona Center represents an impeccable renovation of an old building that fits perfectly into an urban context near the city centre. This restyling demonstrates the high flexibility of using GammaStone Glass Air panels. The timeless beauty of the glass gives majesty and elegance to the building. The GammaStone Glass AIR panels are segmented and alternated giving a continuous movement to the entire façade. The result is a visual effect of absolute relevance, which gives dynamism from every angle and perspective. Referring to the wave with an idea of modern line design, which goes from Via Arona to Corso Sempione.

The sinusoidal shape and the curved angle are the project's main character. The idea of performing it using only one colour, which improves the continuity of the layer material, should be well considered. Optical white with a mirror finish follows a unique architectural line but at the same time highlights the note and irrefutable Coop sign with bright tones.
